![]() ![]() ![]() Some will argue that Justin Vernon's mind was working on a subliminal level when he penned the lyrics and I suppose that's just fine but perhaps just not enough for me. I will always love this song but I guess I'm always going to be skeptical about the lyrics and their meaning. I suppose one could call this post-post-modern in the vein of the Cocteau Twins whose ethereal and beautiful nonsense lyrics (sounding Gaelic but totally made up) riveted us in the 80's but still I wonder if I'm being "conned". ![]() I can't legitimately criticize Vernon's process here but something about it leaves me feeling that something's not quite right in the manner in which this beautiful song was created. Is this how it should be? It perplexes me that I love the song but have a deep issue with how it was constructed. What should come first? The melody or the lyrics? With this song - which we all agree we love I think - he constructed a melody and then evolved phrases and lyrics to fit the melody (and very arbitrarily with no real narrative thread). This made me think hard about the process of writing a song - something I've not done for a long time. He says that he "tried phrases" and "played with words" until he found things that fit the chords he was noodling (my words). OK, I respect that Justin took off and went to live in the woods in a cabin in the woods for three months with minimal amenities and wrote this beautiful song (and later added tracks to it in the studio) but the process by which he created the lyrics really gave me pause. And then I read an article on the genesis of this song and I was stopped cold. On this track, I especially like the quirky tempo changes and, of course Justin Vernon's ethereal voice is just so amazing: this song in gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. That fact that Bon Iver is on the 4AD label just adds to their cred - this is the record label of New Order (nee Joy Division) fame that spawned such iconic bands as The Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, Dif Juz, Colourbox, The Wolfgang Press, This Mortal Coil, and so many others.

One of the freshest voices I've heard in a long time and really a great arrangement. Let me say at the outset that when I first hear this song I was blown away.
